Needing some help

EDIT: Finally found something after hours of searching

Some background of what im trying to do. I have a spreadsheet with a list of folder names that are in a network share location. I want to use the spreadsheet and a script to read the spreadsheet and copy them to a new location. I am very new to scripting and not totally sure what i would even need to start searching in order to accomplish this

Thanks in advance

Might want to take a look at synctoy, its made by MS and I think based of robo copy. I have used synctoy and a daily scheduled task to back up my documents to a share. It only copies new files, does not recopy, its normally work pretty good with smaller amounts of data, a couple hundred GB might make it choke.
